[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I am contemplating to buy another M-body together with the Sum 35 Asph, but I am hesitant because of LUG-rumours about eventual new M:s. Sofar I have seen messages on the LUG about: M6J at M6-price level M6W(ide) M6T(ele) M6E(lectronic) I dont like the idea of buying a current M6, only to see my dream camera M6J introduced on the market in a few months. I am not too impressed with the M6W concept, as I think that the eventual wide angle frames (21-24-28) would give a too "flat" image. I prefer the separate finders, that show the wide angle effects better. The M6T concept is a rather limited camera (50-75-90-135) unless Leica presents another 35 with "goggles". The M6E would be a nice camera, to complete the mechanical M6-line with auto exposure and extended flash automation. Well, this is only speculations, but I am surprised that the LUG-mails announcing these rumours never got any reactions on this list. Maybe it is because they only are... rumours. /Hans - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail: hans.pahlen@mark.komvux.se URL: htp://www.komvux.mark.se/hp635.htm Mirror URL: http://home2.swipnet.se/~w-24872/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
